Neil Gaiman And Eddie Campbell To Create Illustrated Story For Sydney Opera House

A new graphic storytelling, comics, animation and illustration festival will take place at the Sydney Opera House the first weekend of August. Neil Gaiman will read his new as-yet unpublished published last month story The Truth is a Cave in the Black Mountains in the Concert Hall. Eddie Campbell has been commissioned to illustrate the story and Australian string quartet FourPlay will create a live underscore to the reading.

This is the kind of thing YouTube was invented for, right?

The festival will also have an evenings with Kevin Smith (who will no doubt try it on with Amanda Palmer if she comes along), the anime Akira, rescored live by Regurgitator and a performance of The Arrival by Shaun Tan with live score by Ben Walsh's Orkestra of The Underground.

Watch out San Diego, someone is upping their game here. Even Gary Groth is going.
